Hi all, I want to learn tools like MAXWELL 2d 3d , MAGNET, FLUX etc. I want to know if I'll need to know CAD and FEM Analysis to learn the above mentioned tools. Thankyou, Chaitanya

is there "cheap" / high productivity way to measure quality of hand tools? I see online a common complaint that widely available tools have become low quality due to offshore outsourcing, cost cutting, corrupt/lying mislabeling of alloys used etc. Conversely, tools of "proven" brands that have...

I've always hated biology, do you have some tools to make me like them ? Thanks, Alexandria

Such as topics in topology, complex analysis, etc.?

So, its a long post and I feel I've been pushing this thing further and further without considering it properly. Here's the background: I am doing a 5 year B. Tech. + M. Tech. Integrated course in Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering. There's one major issue though. My curriculum doesn't...

I come across many circuit boards at my job and I while I have to understand exactly what the board should be giving as inputs and outputs I don't have to understand what's the board is doing within it. For instance, I know that a board should have a high voltage switch close when another area...

Hi my friends I wanted to build a ion thruster for some research projects. I searched in net and find out that there are a lot of papers relating to design and increasing performance of ion thrusters, but i couldn't find a build paper or site! Please if any of you knew about build requirement...

First, how and where did you learn LaTeX? I want to get started, but I have been shocked at how unhelpful the resources at the top of my Google searches have been. Second, what applications do you write and compile in? I've heard of "Emacs," but I'm not sure if this is as related as I would...

Hello everyone, I need to create a website. Therefore, i would like to ask what are the tools required for the same. I know C/C++, java. I know that website designing is done in HTML, PHP etc. but i cannot form a clear picture of the same. I would like to know step by step procedure to create a...

(I apologize ahead of time If I posted this in the wrong section) I'm in the process of starting an import business. I'm trying to do some market research and need some help, since I don't know too many mechanical engineers myself I want to know if any of you have any experience with these...

I can not find any useful online tool that solves you a system of equations using Gaussian elimination and LU decomposition. So just a system like: -3X+4X+9X+4x=-2 9X+2X+1X-5X=2 etc. Just about 4 lines. several lines. So basically an online tool where you can just plug in the...

Do quantum field have ontological reality or are they only mathematical calculational tools just like virtual particles? What's the mainstream consensus?

Folks, I am reading some literature on QM. From what I understand QM can be used to great accuracy to predict the outcome of experiments and help to improve technology etc etc without having to worry to much about what it means i.e. the interpretations etc, i.e. the shut up and calculate...

Any practicing mechanical engineers post some internet links or tools used on the job? Would be much appreciated thanks.

Hi. I am aware that Fortran, Mathlab and Mathematica are used somewhat extensively in physics. Due to some technical and administrative problems I was unable to return to the labs to learn any of the three stated above during the long break. I only have limited access and would have to use the...

Hi all! This forum has been very helpful to me in the past, so I thought I would post this question here. I have what are basically machine tools that I am trying to examine in the SEM (I also use profilometry to gauge surface roughness). After use, the tools have residual Aluminum on...

Homework Statement Solving y^4+4y-69, I got the following: By manually plugging in, I found that y= -3 and y=2.76. However, I would like to ask you if there are other good, efficient ways to find solutions? (Without using sophisticated math tools. Imagine, I have this prob on the exam)...

Homework Statement What is the relationship of the scale of the tool and the scale of the object? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution This refers to nanotechnology. But I'm confused when they state the scale of the tool and the scale of the object. Therefore, would the...

hello everybody, I am going into my 3rd year as an EE major, usually between semesters ill either prep or try to learn more tools for my tool box. my question is this: are there any tools (languages, certifications, subjects, etc.) that would "really" aid me when i enter the workforce...

Basically I have the following system: ac = A ad + bc = B bd = C where A, B, and C are constants. Solving for a, b, c, and d, what kind of problem/system am I encountering and what appropriate tools (vectors and/or numerical methods perhaps[?]) would help to find the set...

Hey there, I thought PF can be helpful in many fields other than science. :biggrin: Here's the question:

Low-Noise, Low-Power, Low-Voltage; Mixed-Mode Design with CAD Tools; Voltage, Current and Time References by Johan H. Huijsing, Rudy J. van de Plassche, and Willy M.C. Sansen (1995,Springer) anybody could tell me where can find this e-book? thanks

Google Tools... I want to know if PF forum members regularly use: Google, alerts... http://www.google.com/alerts" and if getting e-mailed links has helped you find or research information (Note: to busy college students...), or to keep abreast of breaking news ? Have you tried...

The Division of Physics of Beams of the American Physical Society (APS) has produced this wonderful brochure titled "http://www.aps.org/units/dpb/upload/brochure.pdf" ". It essentially describe what a particle accelerator is, and more importantly, what it is used for. The main purpose here is...

We all know that a lot of machinery goes into study the set of natural integers such as algebraic number theory and analytical number theory. Why are the natural integers so special? What other mathematical objects involve so much attention in terms of machinery used to study them?

TOOLS? For measuring surface friction? Are there any good tools out there for measuring the friction of a surface such as a road or ice or other surfaces?

I was reading "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman" and noticed that he mentioned he uses a "different set of tools" for integration. Is there any way we can learn these? Did he teach these different methods or is there some article with which I can learn these methods? -Anirudh

I'm currently taking calculus ("differential calculus of several variables") and I really dislike math (even though I used to like math), but it's required for my major (comp sci). My teacher can't draw and does not show us graphics of 3-D graphs and functions, so I have a hard time 'seeing'...

I've never used the language before but I would like to start moving away from Windows as a server platform. PHP from what I can tell, and have read on this board, is a good choice for coding on a *nix platform. Can anyone recommend an IDE and any other tools that might come in handy for web...

Anything free that is? BTW, I have a biological aversion to Gnuplot.

Is anyone currently researching the inner monologue? Where can I find information about experiments to alter the inner monologue? Are there any websites which have "audio tools" which, when listened to, can positively alter the tone and function of the inner monologue? Cheers,

Hi, I have an MSP430 USB interface that comes with the MSP-FET430UIF and a JTAG MSP430F2131 header board. Problem is, I have no idea how to load the program onto the MCU that's on the header board through the JTAG connector. I have the IAR Embedded Workbench KickStart software and I haven't...

Now that we have established that physicists do not need to study math proofs or do rigorous math problems, but rather just understand the math tools well enough to use them, I was wondering if a physicist can just get by in learning the math tools in a qualitative, prosaic, way as in wikipedia...
